Algebraic Properties Worksheet

This geometry worksheet provides students with practice using properties of equality like symmetric, reflexive, transitive, and substitution to solve problems involving real numbers and relations. Students are asked to fill in blanks, explain whether given relations are symmetric or transitive, prove an equality statement, and provide a counterexample diagram for a false statement involving line segments of points. The document contains 13 problems for students to work through.

Geometry Unit 2: Reasoning and Proof

Name: _______________________________________________________ Date: _______________________


Given x, y, and z are real numbers.
Use the given property or properties of equality to fill in the blank in each of the following questions.
1. Symmetric: If x = 3, then _______________________________________.
2. Reflexive: If x + 2 = 9, then _____________________________________.
3. Transitive: If y = 12 and x = y, then __________________________________________.
4. Symmetric: If x + y = y + z, then ____________________________________________.
5. Reflexive: If x + y = y + z, then _____________________________________________.
6. Substitution: If x = y – 7 and x = z + 4, then _____________________________________________.
7. Use the transitive property of equality to write a convincing logical argument (a proof) that the
statement below is true. If a = b and b = c and c=d and d=e, then a=e.
